Logan Smith, Class of 2021, the reason why…

July 8, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

We love to scour the statistics and then glorify the skill players who compile them. Many of these skill players become our heroes, our kids’ heroes. We forget that Johnny QB or Johnny RB didn’t just run out on the field and run over the defensive 11, single-handily. Someone or 5 particular “someones” have to bust their butts for recognition from only the most knowledgeable few. We love offensive linemen at KPGFootball and Logan Smith is one of our favorites Kentucky-wide. Corbin is very good offensively and the Logan Smiths along its OL is why. Enjoy the article. HB

Kade Grundy, Class of 2021’s Marquee Athlete (Feature Photo: SM Lynch Photography)

July 7, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

This Grundy guy may be the marquee athlete Kentucky has anywhere in it’s graduating class of 2021. Why? Well, because he is an All-State football player and on the list of sports in which he participates, football may be his third best. For the Briar Jumpers to threaten the Class 2A football championship in 2019, Kaiya Sheron will need this guy working the field for him as a target. He is also one of 2021’s marquee kick returners. Basically, on a football field he is a regular thrill-a-minute with the ball in his hands. Enjoy this article about Kade Grundy. HB.

We got some correspondence from a recent graduate of Leslie County High School who informed us she had read our article on Preston Spurlock. She told us further that Spencer Napier was the perfect compliment to Spurlock and that the tandem constituted a nearly unmatched pair of second level defenders. We looked at Napier ourselves and, what do you know, we agreed. Enjoy the article. HB.

Armondo Rodriguez, Class of 2020, McLean County High School is this week’s Independence Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week

Congratulations to Armondo Rodriguez for being this week’s Independence Bank Revolutionary Player of the Week. This is a PK who appears to us to really enjoy playing football. The kicking game, often overlooked by everyone except for us, is commonly the difference between winning and losing a football game. Armondo, like his brother before him, gives the Cougars a considerable advantage in this all-important part of the game. Join us next week for another selection.

Tristan Petit, Class of 2021, is the Stewart Williams Company’s Robertson County Player of the Week

July 5, 2019 Fletcher Long 0

This Stewart Williams Company Robertson County Player of the Week is Tristan Petit, who may be one of the finest guard prospects on any roster in Tennessee Class 4A. He certainly plays at one of the classification’s highest regarded programs. Tristan is a kid who really needs to show he can play football with enough motor to continue to drive his feet and pound the ground through the referee’s whistle. Once he does that, his stock will shoot through the roof because his is a frame you don’t see everyday. Enjoy this article brought to you by the fine folks at your locally owned, hometown Stewart Williams Furniture Company. Don’t forget to stop by again next week as we crown another deserving recipient.

Class of 2021’s Aaron Bolster, Rossview High School, is the Meeks & Meeks Montgomery County Player of the Week

July 5, 2019 Fletcher Long 0

Here is another guy who doesn’t really appear anywhere on line or in the stat books. Yet, with his frame and other athletic attributes, it is an easy prognostication he will have a break out junior season for the Hawks in the upcoming Fall. Enjoy this look at a player whose best football is ahead of him and we mean immediately ahead. Check back in with us next week as we recognize another, worthy, Montgomery County area player brought to you by your friends at the hometown, home-owned, Meeks & Meeks, Attorneys.

There is a storm brewing in Richmond, Kentucky! Brady Hensley and Kenyatta Hardge are “Thunder and Lightening”

July 5, 2019 Fletcher Long 1

We have heard thunder only happens when it is raining. We have also heard where there is thunder there is also lightening. Well, opponents of Caudill Middle School have been experiencing some terrible weather over the past three seasons. The two backs we have featured today, Kenyatta “Thunder” Hodge and Brady “Lightening” Hensley, are the most dynamic and productive backfield in Kentucky’s Class of 2024. Enjoy the article. HB.

Grayson’s offer, which was in the mail the whole time, was finally delivered…Grayson Cook offered by Air Force

July 4, 2019 Henry Lyon 0

You know what we encounter at KPGFootball too many times? Parents inordinately anxious about whether their son will be offered a football scholarship. We have talked to many a father on the brink of despair. For some of these fathers, their level of anxiety is both unwarranted and, frankly, ridiculous, if we are being completely honest. Let this article be a lesson to every Kentucky prospect our there with the dream of playing on Saturdays. You keep handling the parts over which you have control and leave the rest to the experts. Your level of football will find you, will invite you to camp, and will want you. It is out there for you. Don’t despair! Enjoy this article about a kid who was considerably anxious but now is entering his senior campaign on top of the world. We always said he would get there, ask him if we didn’t. HB.

Preston Spurlock, Class of 2021, Leslie County’s hit-man (Featured Photo: Larry Robinson, BSN)

July 3, 2019 Fletcher Long 0

Preston Spurlock is one of our favorite players commonwealth-wide and someone we have selected to our All-State team two straight years. He is someone for whom opposing coaches have to plan to contain. Failure to game-plan him is costly. We call him around the Magazine either the Mountain Hit-Machine, or the Leslie County Hit-Man. Yeah, we’re pretty clever. Enjoy this article which will fully explain the high regard in which we hold this guy who will play on Saturdays should he wish.

Devin Kilgore, Class of 2020, Caldwell County HS

July 2, 2019 Henry Lyon 1

There is a player listed on the Caldwell roster as wearing No. 63 and slotted at both offensive center and defensive end. This guy doesn’t exist within the public record outside of being awarded the Farmers Bank “Player of the Week” on YourSportsEdge.com. We hope we aren’t being “Cat-fished” here; but, if we aren’t, and if there is such a person who played as well as the 2018 stats indicate, he has to be considered one of the best DEs in western-Kentucky entering the 2019 football season. We suppose time will tell. HB
